Why does donald with his first tweet in nearly 24 hrs feel compelled to tell us that white supremacists aren’t involved in this protests?

I just want to bump this again.
The first time I watched it I literally had tears coming down my cheeks. I'm a emotional baby who cries watching sad movies or tv shows though so it's not that surprising (I get it from my mom.)

Today I showed this video to my wife. She never cries during movies and is much stronger than me emotionally. I had tears in my eyes again(of course) but noticed in my peripheral vision that my wife was wiping her face with hand and I looked at her and to my surprise she had tears running down her face too.

The speech wasn't perfect. He said some things I didn't like. But it wasn't about his words as much as HOW he said them. His tone of sincerity, vulnerability, and honestly shines through. I love that he said multiple times that he doesn't have the answers. That he is mad as hell. That he doesn't want to be there etc.

Just such a great speech. The fact that it wasn't perfect and he wasn't reading from something, it all came from the heart, was wonderful.

I would love to see more of the leading politicians speak in this manner. Even if I don't like what they are saying, at least I can respect their words anyway if they are being sincere and honest and trying their best to be understanding and compassionate. Be vulnerable. Admit that you don't have the answers and that you make mistakes. Be human for God's sake.

Or maybe you think you understand when you don't? What makes it clear other posters don't understand the message? Because they're against rioting and looting? Does that mean that Floyd's family doesn't understand too?

Nope, I dont understand that is the opposite of what I just said. I dont think most people understand because its much bigger issue and it isnt getting fixed. If most people understood it would stop. Either that or most people are just terrible bad racist people but I think its more ignorance. But this is a big complex issue and I am simply trying to read their side and hear what they are saying.

Not sure what you’re saying here. Not saying that in any sort of a flippant or argumentative manner. I just don’t understand.

That if most people understand what you just posted then people are purposely ignoring it or believe that is not what is happening just what certain people believe. I think that is ******. I think most of it is due to ignorance.

Property ownership is an oppressor.

I can just picture Thriller following Trump's twitter feed and checking his phone for Trump tweets every 5 minutes then having to wait a whole 24 hours for a new one. He probably went insane waiting so long.

So you don't understand but you understand it enough to tell others they don't understand the message if they they're upset with rioting.

If you're going to loot a store, would you really choose an Old Navy? Are you that hard up for flip flops?

I get mob violence, hell i'm all for it. But why aren't they burning down republican offices, NRA joints, tea party and newscorp buildings? Target your oppressors.

Ehh, they're not at that point, they're angry and want to inflict violence, they're not down to die for the cause (and yes, many looters have an opportunistic streak). I would expect that to be the unfortunate next step if we continue on our current path. Not riots targeting those places, but an outbreak of more coordinated guerrilla style tactics, bombings and the like.

Bro...

I guess I should clarify, its a tool of the oppressor. I have mixed feelings about it personally but again maybe try to listen to what people are saying in regards to this.

There are many issues with property ownership and it is one of the biggest dividers in the USA of races. The fact that black people are still being turned down for home loans and business loans at a much higher rate than a white person is a huge issue and thats not even going into the long history of problems with it here.

Yes, I think the issue is very complex. I know enough to know that if you are not presenting an argument against the one people who are doing it/the other side then you dont know enough to say its completely wrong.

I am willing to admit that someone might know more than I think about this but so far many people are showing that they are ignorant to what is being said.
